First of all the coordinates given above are NOT for Wilson’s Home. This is a virtual multi-stop cache located in the Victorian Town of Wellsboro, Pa. This is a very easy cache for all ages.

The object is to find Wilson’s Home (in a round about way). It is such an interesting sandstone home that I am sure you will be awe inspired, as this is no ordinary abode. History shows that Mr. Wilson was an Irish immigrant born in a log cabin in 1821. He studied law and had a practice in Wellsboro, Pa. He served as a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate and was a member of the U. S. House of Representatives. He was very active in politics and in 1864 was a delegate at the Republican National Convention that nominated Abraham Lincoln for President. Now let’s find his home - it will be worth it - I guarantee! And along the way, we’ll honor some noted residents of the area.

First Location: Start at the coordinates given above. Don’t step on the MUK. Read of the interesting person who took the name that means wood drake. Complete the coordinates for the Second Location using the 8 digits found here.

Second Location: N41 44.8AA
W77 18. BCD
Where AA is equal to 18 plus digit five from the above 8 digits.
Where B is equal to digit one and C is equal to digit three plus digit four
D is equal to C plus digit five.
Here we honor “those who died so the Nation may live” Complete the coordinate for Location Three using the known 8 digits found here.

Third Location: N41 44.EEE
W77 1G.1HJ
Where EEE is equal to 8AA plus 1.
Where G is equal to the second digit and H is equal to digit one minus 1
Where J is equal digit eight minus digit four
He has made me proud to be Irish. To be honored so by your many friends. Using the four digit birth year, find Wilson’s Home.

Wilson’s Home is located at N41 4M.1NP
W77 1Q.RS0
Where M is equal to digit three minus digit four
Where N is equal to digit three and P is equal M
Q is equal to digit three minus digit one
R is equal to digit one and S is equal to digit four

To claim this virtual cache, just email me the date that Wilson’s HOME was built. Let me know your impressions of the HOME. But don’t give it away in the logs.

NOTE: If any of your distances between locations is over .6 mi. Do the math again. I hope you enjoy this cache.

September 25 by Ursie77 (1532 found) #1489 - We grabbed the first three locations before heading with our group to dinner at the Wellsboro House tonight. We figured we'd get the smiley tomorrow, but when we finished dinner, we decided to go for it. It was a bit creepy at night, but we made the find in the dark with flashlights. Email is on its way...
